Once Rob, now Robert, Newman found fame as a member of the show that spawned a thousand catchphrases; The Mary Whitehouse Experience, and went stratospheric in the early '90s as one half of Newman and Baddiel, becoming the first comedy act to sell-out Wembley Arena. He also wrote for the BBC radio classic 'Week Ending' along with a host of contributors who included Ged Parsons, Oleg Stepaniuk, Nick and Roger Saunders, Michael Dines and Bob and Barbara Boulton. Having parted company with Baddiel, Newman now combines writing novels, campaigning against globalisation and performing some of the most informed and incisive political comedy.

'He is the funniest comedian I have ever seen. A passionate, chaotically brilliant comedian' (The Sunday Times)

'I am completely in awe of Robert Newman. Of his talent, his passion, his intelligence, and the way he turns them to comedy with real firepower. If this world could be saved by a Superhero whose Superpower was Comedy, that hero would be Robert Newman' (The Scotsman)

'You see that chink of gleaming light in the dark, overcast sky? That's you that is' (The Daily Telegraph).

Have Your Say

I haven't seen Rob live but i have met him and what a man he is. Very tall very well built and very beautiful. A voice like soft velvet big brown eyes but be careful girls they are very hypnotic.
Apart from being very intelligent but slightly self deprecating… (cont'd)Joanne from Hornchurch
